The Fall/Winter 2011 Yale University Press list of new books to be published reveals: "Vermeer's Women - Secrets and Silence", which is being published in association with the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, England. Cover illustration is of the famous 17th C. painting of the "Lacemaker". The exhibit at the Fitzwilliam Museum will run from October 5, 2011 to January 15, 2012. I did a search of "Vermeer at Fitzwilliam Museum" and learned this is the first time this painting has been loaned to the U.K. Perhaps my friends at The Lace Guild in England would like this information for their next bulletin, so I'm sharing information here. It seems to me that this occasion might justify planning some sort of promotion of lacemaking, or of demonstrating the art of lacemaking. Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace and Embroidery Resource Center
